I'm sure I'll get by. Thank you for your advice and information.

Well thank you all for your input. I like to plan ahead and I'm trying to gather all the information I can before I make a decision. I dislike ambiguity and was a bit taken back by the fact that the admissions office couldn't really give me an answer beyond "do the pre-reqs and have above a 3.0." I will continue with the two pre req courses, do my best, and hope for a positive outcome.

None of the nursing programs that for degree holders that I have looked at have a requirement for the type of degree required, only that a certain type/selection of pre reqs be completed upon application. As my degree is in business and not science, will that be something that could make me less competitive?

Thank you for your input. Admission requirements vary for a lot of schools. I had hoped to find out what percentile or probability ranking I fell into, unfortunately there is no a lot of information about the requirements of my local nursing school beyond the minimum grade. Obviously to be competitive you have to beyond the mere minimum, and I feel that I am. Just a better idea of what specific bracket I'm in would be comforting. Your point about having an outstanding GPA in the two pre req courses is well taken.

Would my qualifications seem competitive? Unfortunately there is not a lot of information about the criteria and qualifications of candidates at Memorial, and as I have noted the admissions office is rather evasive when asked.

Thanks, the search didn't reveal a Canadian-specific forum I had to track it down through the tabs.

I'm currently registered to do two pre-req courses in order to qualify for admission into a two-year RN program at my local university. It's a program that requires an existing degree (I have two, a business degree and an arts degree) and a 3.0 GPA for consideration (I have a 3.41). Before I spend eight months of my life doing the courses I wanted to find out the exact criteria for admission. The admissions office has been pretty evasive, telling me that the only thing that really matters is having a 3.0 GPA, the pre-req courses and an academic reference. I have all of these. I've not really been able to find a lot of information on who gets in. They can't/won't tell me the average GPA of the last batch of admitted students and the only person I could find who has done the program is a math major who go accepted on a full scholarship and a 3.9 GPA so not a good gauge of an average applicant. The program is the BSn Fast Track Option at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Given that I have above the minimum GPA and an academic reference, what would be my chances given that I do not have a science background?
